On the Dishonored sale, the GG site says that if you order, they'll send you a key in a few days. I've never used GamersGate before, are they reliable on this issue? Is there any coupon codes or tricks I should know about?

Use "elder-geek.com" for 5% off the order, and they'll restock the keys for sure. Gamersgate really mess up sales, like the Borderlands 2 4-pack and Bethesda pack, but that occurs anytime a good sale happens.

Yeah. And if, for some reason, Gamersgate can't restock the keys they'll give you a refund AND probably a discount on a future purchase.
They tend to underestimate demand and have a lot of screw-ups, but none have yet penalized the customer.

If you want me on either service, I suggest PMing me here first to let me know who you are.

On a more serious note, this isn't a bad bargain bin purchase (I paid two quid and one for transport). To put it in perspective, the action is better than Alpha Protocol's. Out of those 107 minutes I spent about three in menus. The dialogue is amazing, the finishing moves are cool and I liked the music. It looks bad but this adds to the hilarity; you can destroy most lights and sometimes it manages to have a pretty cool atmosphere. It's like a shitty action movie that you can't help but enjoy because stuff blows up, communists die and the protagonist is an awesome motherfucker.
I actually might replay it a couple of months from now because it's so funny and violent, plus it's short... and has many achievements.
It seriously made my day. As a full-price game it's highway roberry, but as a bargain bin title and if you know what you're in for it's awesome. There are many worse ways to spend two quid, that's for sure.

It's OK. Looks good and the combat is fun. Bow chick plays like a fantasy cover shooter. With bows. It's dark as hell which can be often annoying. I lost interest after a couple of hours because I couldn't see shit and it's full of long, unexciting dungeons. There aren't many 3rd person action games and this is one of the better.

it's a pretty crappy game, but mickey rourke swears so much that it's hard to dislike. alternatively, you could just put the above video on repeat for a couple of hours and save yourselves a couple of bucks, you commie motherfuckers.

What does this mean? Is there going to be some further discount? (I'm unfamiliar with GG's practices)

The last time they offered a good deal on Bethesda items (a massive missprice) they ended-up offering a 20% discount to the people who didn't get what they ordered (after the website melted-down for 24h)

Gamersgate and sales just don't seem to get on - they misprice things, they put full-priced items into their 'sales' and so on.

Thanks to all your reply's regarding Hunted: The Demon Forge. I'll think i'll give that one a miss. I don't like Gears and after digging around a little I certainly don't have anyone to play co-op with being that co-op is the main pinch for it.
